I will echo the comments about Deanna's personality: from first phone call, she has demonstrated herself to be very kind and hard working. Her knowledge and dedication the past few months has been demonstrated in her ability to help my partner's son have all the charges withdrawn. I am not privy to the communication between her and my partner's son, but she has kept in regular contact with him and kept us up to date about the progress. She is outstanding and would not hesitate to recommend her in the future.

So last January I was charged with multiple SERIOUS offences. It felt like this wouldn't end anytime soon but luckily Deanna was my lawyer and got all my charges dropped! Deanna is an amazing lawyer, she was very helpful and easy to talk to. Not only is Deanna amazing her personality is amazing she's also hardworking, and kind, and fits all the recommendations as one of the best lawyers in my opinion. She checks up on your life seeing how you are doing, and makes sure you are all right. If you are looking for a criminal lawyer, trust me take her as your lawyer. I really couldn't ask for a better lawyer.

I consider myself fortunate to have found Deanna, and would recommend her service to anyone. From the first time I spoke with Deanna, she was professional and knowledgeable, and she maintained these qualities throughout the entire case. Whenever I needed support, Deanna was there. As someone who has been through this before, believe me, it's rare to find a lawyer who cares about you personally the way she did. The matter, being a private prosecution, was complex and stressful. Knowing that Deanna was on my side truly eased my worries. She was always honest and transparent about everything. I know things could have gone poorly, but Deanna's expertise ensured the best possible outcome. Thank you, Deanna, not just for your exceptional work, but for being a beacon of hope in a dark time.

Deanna is an amazing lawyer, she’s personable, kind and hardworking. We knew we were in good hands not just of a professional but a person who cared right from the start, she went above and beyond with her service, knowledge on the serious life altering charges against my son. The prognostic wasn’t good, but Deanna’s expertise, and vast sensibility on the matter got my son clear of all charges without criminal record. To hear the Crown himself during a proceeding complimenting her hard work only confirms it… we couldn’t have gotten a better lawyer! Thank you for all your support and help Deanna. G-D bless you!
